BERGEN’S TOP DOCTORS 2018 BERGEN’S TOP DOCTORS 2018 H ave you ever wondered who is your “doctor’s doctor,” which physicians are trusted and sought out by col- leagues for medical care? Being a savvy health care con- sumer and researcher is a smart idea, but securing that informa- tion can be daunting. So (201) Magazine turns to MSP Communications, a leading researcher and publisher of Super Doctors, to do that work for you. MSP Communications asks Bergen doctors to nominate col- leagues (certainly not themselves) in the county they would choose if seeking medical care for themselves or someone close to them. The Super Doctors research team then investigates fur- ther, searching for exceptional doctors to complement the results. Candidates are evaluated on indicators of peer recognition, pro- fessional achievement and any disciplinary history. Doctors are grouped into specialties. Those with the highest scores from each grouping are invited to serve on a blue ribbon panel to evaluate the candidates in their specialty. Finally, doctors who acquired the highest total points from the surveys, research and blue ribbon panel review are selected for inclusion in Bergen’s Top Doctors. Of course, no list is perfect. Many qualified doctors who are providing excellent care to their patients may not be included on this year’s list. However, if you’re looking for exceptional physicians who have earned the confidence and high regard of their peers, you can start your search here.
